Chicken Farfalle


  
 Farfalle are a type of pasta. Commonly known as "bow-tie pasta," the name is derived from the Italian word farfalla (butterfly). The "e" at the end of the word is the Italian feminine plural ending, making the meaning of the word "butterflies." 
The butterfly shape is most appealing to my kids, so they finish this one to perfection! 

Ingredients-
3cups farfalle

Chicken-

1chicken breast
ginger-garlic paste
salt
lemon juice
 Sauce-
1/2 cup green peas
1onion sliced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1large tomato sliced
salt to taste
Oregano
Preparation-
  • Cut the chicken breast and marinate with salt, ginger-garlic paste and lemon juice. Freeze overnight. Defreeze the next day and cook(pan fry). 
  • Cook the farfalle in water al dente. Drain and keep aside.
  • While the farfalle cooks, heat oil in a pan. Saute the onions and minced garlic.
  • Add the green peas and cook.
  • Add the tomatoes. Cook till it aquires sauce consistency. Add reserve if required.
  • Add salt and the shredded chicken. Mix well.
